Try Yoga To Relieve Your Stress

By Sydney Heiden

It seems that the more we multi task, the less we get done. We are all trying to accomplish too much, and as a result, we seem to suffer more and more stress levels in our lives. Yoga exercise can help us balance our lives; everyone knows how it can improve our cardiovascular system, strength our muscles and improve our flexibility. But equally important, yoga can reduce our stress level and help us improve the quality of our life, by helping us to truly relax to a deeper level.

High levels of stress develop the fight or flight syndrome. This stored stress will result in an increased heart rate and blood pressure. It will also cause our muscles to tense and will release glucose to increase the body’s energy. These thing will help the body fight off its natural enemies or will allow you escape. If we aren’t allowed to strike out or run away, we store this stress. This increased blood sugar level can result in diabetes, the increased blood pressure can cause stokes and heart attacks. And if you deplete your body’s reserve you end up exhausted, resulting in your body being subject other diseases.

Many doctors believe that up to 90% of all diseases are caused by stress. Doctors have stated that the best way to restore your body’s natural ability to ward off diseases is to relax and get more rest. Yoga exercise is one of the best stress reducers know to man. Yoga has been around for over 3,000 years, and in that time, there has not been a better method developed to lower your stress levels.

Yoga exercise will loosen your tight muscles, which will help rid your body of the toxins that are poisoning your immune system. It will increase your flexibility and will help increase your movement, reducing your pain from swollen, stiff joints. The deep breathing exercises will increase the oxygen in your blood stream, which helps remove the toxins and allowing your muscles to rejuvenate. Yoga will help reduce your stress levels and greatly improve your health.

Yoga exercise reduces stress by enhancing the body’s natural functions. Certain yoga poses help to stimulate glands in the brain which helps the body heal itself. The stretching exercises help the spine maintain its correct position and increase it suppleness. Yoga exercises can help reduce the aches and pains that can make such a huge difference in our health and outlook.

So, the next time you start getting stressed out about some situation, just relax. It will help the situation seem less stressful and will improve your health. And the best way to relax is with yoga. For 3,000 years, yoga has helped people reduce stress and improve their health, and yoga is still helping people reduce stress.
